Maths pattern

Today in maths we got given a sheet with a grid. We had to colour every square. You could do a pattern or you could colour random squares random coulors. Since there was 100 squares you picked a colour, counted how many there were in the pattern and wrote it as how many out of 100, as a decimal and as a percentage. For instance if you had 7 pink squares you would write, 7/100, 0.07, 17%. It was a fun way to learn about fractions. Here is a picture.

Marine Iguanas

In class we have been learning about reptiles. Everyone picked a reptile and wrote about it. I chose marine iguanas.  This is my slideshow about marine iguanas. I chose marine iguanas because I didn't know much about them, so it was great to learn more about them.

My Game

In maths we are learning about fractions. Maggie and I made a board game relating to what we are learning. When you land on a fraction you have twenty seconds to name as many equivalent fractions as you can. However many equivalent fractions are named you get to move forward that many spaces. Here is a picture of my game.

My favourite word

Yesterday we each chose a word that relates to 'promise'. I chose love because it is so big and endless. Also it means a lot to me because I love so many people. This is a picture of my word.

Wordsearch

Today I made a word search with all my spelling words. First I drew up a grid. Then I wrote my words in. Next I filled in the gaps with extra letters. Now my word search was complete, all I needed was someone to find the words. Anna and Frankie did my word search which took them about ten minutes. Here is a picture of my word search.

Netball

On Thursday 9th August two teams went to the Auckland netball tournament. We played six games in total. I played center my favourite position for the whole day. The six teams we played were :  Maungawhau, Balmoral, Owairaka, MENPS, (Mount Eden Normal Primary School) Marist and Edendale. It was really fun and a great learning experience because we had to persevere and be resilient. We won two of our games but the other team won their grade. I had lots of fun and I can't wait for the next competition.

Mary Mackillop Feast day

Today was Mary Mackillop's feast day. First we went to mass. Then we did some Mary Mackillop art. We dipped cotton buds in paint and then went carefully around the outline of Mary Mackillop, so it looked like a silhouette. Next we did some research on Mary Mackillop and made a slideshow about her. This is my painting.
